After food‚ fossil fuel is humanity’s most important source of energy. Coal is used mainly to produce electricity. It provides light‚ motive power from electric motors and many electronic devices. Oil provides mobility for cars‚ planes‚ trains‚ trucks and boats. Natural gas is used primarily to produce heat for buildings‚ hot water‚ and industrial

I end my paper with a third section that concludes my research and points to the importance of governmental support with this new‚ but very beneficial‚ opportunity. Imagine energy sources that use no oil‚ produce no pollution‚ create no radioactive waste‚ and cannot be affected by political events and cartels‚ but yet are economical. Even though this sounds impossible‚ experts claim that technological advances could make wide use of renewable energy
